[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster.  I think there's definitely a segment of conservatives who are essentially sociopaths.  They may look after their immediate circle but beyond that they don't care about anyone or what may befall them.

And, self-aware to their lack of empathy, they project it onto others, not believing that others are, in fact, capable of empathy.  When they see someone else showing empathy, they think it's fake (since they themselves are incapable of it), and thus attach their own artificial labels like "virtue signalling" which projects their own lack of empathy onto others.

The other thing that goes far far beyond the "contempt" that's presumed to be shown by white collars toward blue collars [b](which I think is at least partly also chip-on-shoulder inferiority complex of the blue collar)[/b] is the level of gleeful malice that's out there - for example the complete demonization of federal employees right now.[/quote]

Right, being resentful of having to pay for the college loans of *other people* is just a "chip-on-shoulder inferiority complex."  How dare those blue collar workers not step up and pay for my college loan!!  
Do you even hear yourself?[/quote]
